I have separately posted a different but related issue. Note that if the beta/provisional output of a workflow application produces an image that is satisfactory for use (eg, accepted by a client), such an outcome is sufficient in many situations. I have licensed for fee FastRawViewer, but not being able to process Z9 NEF images in PL5E has adversely affected my productivity and workflow. As DxO obtains additional samples of the Z9 (or as Nikon releases firmware updates for any Nikon body that affects the DxO body “profile”), the relevant components of the application can be updated. Thus for the Z9, both Adobe and FastRawViewer have Z9 NEF (raw) support (for at least some of the Z9 NEF compression methods). What I had hoped for with the Z9 was that DxO would have raw conversion without all of the Elite features fully working for the Z9 soon after the production body was delivered (NPS) and later update Z9 support – but at least basic raw DxO workflow would be available as with several DxO competitors (including Adobe).Ī vendor does not need to supply the final configuration for a specific body (eg, Nikon Z9) to enable those who have the body to be able to use the application of the vendor. I have a backlog of images for which I am using the Nikon native application (very primitive by comparison to PL5E) and now Fast Raw Viewer – restricting my NEF format to one supported by the latter. I received my Z9 through NPS the day after Christmas 2021, and I am NOT an event photographer (wildlife and nature) and thus my equipment may not always be recognized. I assume that some of the correspondents on the DxO fora are working photographers, and thus in NPS, CPS, SPS, etc., depending upon system/s being used. Due to firmware changes, even the testing of a production model may yield different results (digital bodies are computers that take images, not traditional mechanical cameras). However, once the raw (NEF) format/s are known (e.g., samples from a pre-production body), reverse engineering a raw intake converter becomes possible. For full support with full corrections, one needs to use a sample of production bodies and lenses, not just one sample due to manufacturing tolerances. But, of course, feel free to continue posting about support "delays"if you wish.Īlthough the specifics of the Z9 support release can be dropped for now, several comments should be noted. Perhaps now is a good time to drop this topic as it no longer serves any useful purpose other than allowing posters to vent their frustration. Support will be available in the next few weeks as indicated by. While it may be a little frustrating to wait longer for DxO to implement those modules than some of its competition, I believe that it’s worth the wait. One of the things that DxO is renowned for is the quality of its camera/lens support modules. Yes, I’m aware that both Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom implemented support in December, as did Capture One. There are several other raw processors that either don’t currently support the z9 or have only implemented support very recently. It’s not clear whether ON1:Photo Raw 2022 supports the Z9 yet. Luminar Neo was just released last week with support for the Z9. If you are not able to do so you are not professional in my opinon, Sorry that is a lame excuse. I understand quality, but as a professional company that charges for its services, you should be able to get your hand on a Z9 before normal users.
